By Emily Button 11th Nov 2026
This Christmas, Teddington-based charity Ruils is collecting food and basic hygiene items to create over 80 festive parcels for local Disabled people and families who may be struggling during the Christmas season.
According to Ruils, every donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference.
The charity says it is particularly in need of:
- Pasta, rice and cereal
- Tea, coffee and sugar
- Tinned vegetables, tomatoes and pasta
- Tinned meat, sausages and tuna
- Baked beans and pasta sauces
- Biscuits, sweets, chocolates and crisps
- Toilet rolls
- Soap and body wash
- Washing-up liquid and household cleaning products
All donations should be non-perishable and within their use-by dates.

If you would prefer to make a monetary donation, you can donate via CAF bank here and Ruils says it will purchase essential items on your behalf.
Donations can be delivered to the Ruils Office, located at 4 Waldegrave Road, Teddington.
A Ruils spokesperson said: "Thank you for helping us bring comfort, dignity and festive cheer to local people in need this Christmas."
